HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS
          STARTING FALL 2020
All content in this document is subject to change based upon further Executive Orders of
the Governor, directives from the Indiana Department of Health, or guidance from other
                     local, state, or federal public health organizations.
HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS STARTING FALL 2020
The following Health and Safety Protocols are intended to be the best
 possible methods of protecting all students, staff, and administrators. They
are created to increase the chances of completing the academic year without
    interruptions. All protocols were devised with the resources and best
            practices known at this time to prevent any outbreak.

MASKS ON CAMPUS
                AND SOCIAL DISTANCING

WILL MASKS BE REQUIRED?
YES, MASKS ARE REQUIRED IN MOST SITUATIONS.
Faculty, staff, and students will wear facial coverings while inside campus buildings
except when social distancing is maintained.

Masks will be required to cover both the nose and mouth simultaneously.

I Don’t Want My Child Wearing a Mask.
We know that there are strong opinions about the use of masks. The Indiana State Department of
Health cited a 40-60% reduction in COVID-19 transmission when masks are used by all, which is
why we are requiring them for certain portions of the day.

This is especially important since some carriers of COVID-19 may not have any symptoms.
Children, despite being generally less affected by COVID-19, expose school staff and adults at
home who may be more at risk.

                 FOR QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, PLEASE CONTACT:

WILL SOCIAL DISTANCING BE REQUIRED?
Central Nine will practice social distancing when possible. Due to the size of our
student body and our facilities, it will not be possible at all times. In classroom and
laboratory spaces, student seating may be arranged to face in the same direction,
when possible, and spaced as far apart as possible.
